Technical Abstract

An image capturing apparatus including a mounting part capable of attaching/detaching a device capable of at least storing a captured image, is provided. The image capturing apparatus obtains, if a device mounted in the mounting part has a function of executing image analysis processing for an image captured by the image capturing apparatus, first information representing image analysis processing executable by the device, and output information based on the obtained first information and second information representing image analysis processing executable by the image capturing apparatus.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first information is received if the image capturing apparatus is powered on.

3

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first information is received if the device that has the function of executing image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is mounted in the mounting part.

4

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the device that does not have the function of executing image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is mounted in the mounting part, or if no device is mounted in the mounting part, the first information is not received.

5

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is output based on the first information representing image analysis processing executable by a device not mounted in the mounting part and the second information.

6

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is output based on the first information representing image analysis processing executable by a device mounted in the mounting part and removed in a past.

7

7. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus includes information representing processing obtained by a union of processing represented by the first information and processing represented by the second information.

8

8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus includes information representing processing represented by the first information and processing represented by the second information in a distinguishable manner.

9

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is information for causing the information processing apparatus to display the processing represented by the first information and the processing represented by the second information in a distinguishable manner by different character strings.

10

10. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus is information for causing the information processing apparatus to display the processing represented by the first information and the processing represented by the second information in a distinguishable manner by different character colors or background colors.

11

11. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus includes information representing processing that can be executed by using at least a part of processing represented by the first information and at least a part of processing represented by the second information together.

12

12. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the first information is not received, only the second information is output as the information indicating image analysis processing for the image captured by the image capturing apparatus includes.
